Wire haired Jack Russell with skin problem?
richardmsteed asked:
My Wire haired Jack Russell seems to constantly be licking and cleaning himself, to the point of obsession. Mainly around his tail area. I constantly check for fleas/ticks and he is clear. I treat him for them maticulously. He makes his skin sore by constant licking and cleaning. Is this a trait of a Jack Russell? Does anyone else have the same problem? I have been putting Aloe Vera Gel on the sore areas to help soothe the pink skin, but he just licks it off. Any reccomendations?
